Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Google One at none against Microsoft Copilot's shown. Microsoft Copilot's advantage is ratings volume (1.3M vs 23K) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Microsoft Copilot sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Google One sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Microsoft Copilot against 4.7 for Google One. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microsoft Copilot has 1.3M ratings behind it against 23K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 28% and 28% positive.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Microsoft Copilot ships an update every 4 days, Google One fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
